Jones-Haywood Dance School

"A Legacy of Excellence"

Jones-Haywood Conservatory Program

Jones-Haywood Dance School has established an introductory conservatory training program in classical ballet for deserving students across the District of Columbia and particularly children of color. The goal of the Jones Haywood Conservatory Training Program (JHCTP) centers around preparing young people to gain entry to prestigious programs offered at the School of American Ballet, Julliard, and other similar institutions. JHDS has a history of its students gaining entry to these programs and with greater resources would like to prepare and advocate for more students of color to have these opportunities. A conservatory approach which asserts more time and intensive training would support this goal.
